Well what can I say other than the weather gods did not play along this year and it was wet wet wet. Luckily I managed to leave Durban a day earlier and get a dry ride in down to coffee bay. Route I took was Hillcrest via Richmond,Kokstad,N2 Umtata,Coffee Bay back on N2,Cinsta. All in all was still a decent trip and the decision to B&B it this year was definitely the correct one. Doing a few laps at the East London GP Circuit was definitely a highlight for me. Here are a few pics
